Lambda

Basics

Serverless service. The underlying infrastructure is managed by AWS.

  • Even-driven compute service (s3, dynamodb)
  • Response of HTTP requests via AWS API Gateway
  • Supports multiple languages engines (node, python, c#, java).
  • An IAM Role is needed
  • A variaty of triggers (alexa skills, cloudfront, cloudwatch, dynamodb, s3, , api gateway, etc).
  • 1 lambda function execution per request.

The evolution would be Data Centre -> IaaS -> PaaS -> Containers -> Serverless.

What languages support?: nodejs, java, python, c#, go, powershell and also docker!
